Summary

Fr. Mike explains why it was important to take a census at different points of the people of Israel in the Old Testament. We also learn that the Tribe of Levi is the only tribe that doesn't get an inheritance of land, because they're receiving something much greater. Today's readings are Numbers 26, Deuteronomy 27, and Psalm 111.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:11.8	The Bible In A podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:14.7	Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds
0:21.0	and how we fit into that story today. It is day 73 and we are reading from Numbers chapter 26,
0:27.0	Deuteronomy chapter 27. We are also praying Psalm 111 as always. The Bible translation that I'm
0:32.9	using today and pretty much every day is the revised standard version, the second Catholic edition.
0:38.5	I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your Bible in a year
0:41.9	reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. You also can subscribe

0:51.3	Numbers 26, Deuteronomy 27. and we are praying Psalm 111. I want to
0:56.5	give you fair warning. Numbers 26 has a lot of names. This is another census of Israel. So just get your
1:02.2	census caps on, get your names cap on and some numbers because we're going to go through the family
1:07.4	of the House of Israel. Once again, this is the census at the end of numbers, right?
1:12.7	So we had the census at the very beginning of numbers. Here we are with the census at the end of
1:17.6	numbers to kind of say, okay, after 40 years, what's going on? Who are the people? Who are the people
1:23.4	that are coming into the promised land who have made it through the wilderness? What are their names, and how many are there? That's today in Numbers, Chapter 26. The book of Numbers
1:35.8	26, another census of Israel. After the plague, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar, the son of Aaron,
1:43.2	the priest, take a census of all
1:45.3	the congregation of the sons of Israel from 20 years old and upward by their father's houses,
1:50.0	all in Israel who are able to go forth to war. And Moses and Eliezer the priest spoke with them
1:55.7	in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, take a census of the people from 20 years old and upward
